The Rum Diary - Hunter S. Thompson - A Short Summary and Review

A short summary of the book The Rum Diary:

Partying in Puerto Rico, with some journalism on the side.

My favorite Hunter S. Thompson quote from the book:

"I was not proud of what I have learned but I never doubted that it was worth knowing."

Questions to ponder while reading the book:

Have you ever gone too far?

How much rum is too much?

My review of  The Rum Diary:

Fifties-style guys.

Fifties-style dialogue.

Fifties-style underbelly, Caribbean style.
